Bourgogne Masters Study Guide (English 14th edition)

A 358-PAGE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY GUIDE (FULLY UPDATED IN 2021)

The Bourgogne Masters study guide is a combination of the content of “The Wines of Burgundy” (14^th edition) by Sylvain Pitiot and Jean-Charles Servant with WSG insights and perspective.

These materials have been amassed into a single book and the student is given three voices within one study guide and an opportunity to look at Bourgogne from the standpoint of very different yet complimentary assessments. The goal of this combination of outlook and insight is to paint a multi-dimensional view of a multi-faceted wine region.

Through both presentation of hard fact and philosophical mindset, the study guide will comprehensively cover:

• Viticultural History
• Geology, Topography, Soil Layers
• Climate
• Grapes and the Vine
• Burgundian Grape Growing Practices
• Burgundian Winemaking Practices
• Vintages
• All Sub-regions and all Appellations
• Terroir as expressed in Climats and Lieux-dits
• Wine Villages; Grand Crus & Premiers Crus
• Wine Trade, Wine Statistics, Industry Trends
• PLUS: Detailed maps for each village
